If your lips look thinner or less defined than they used to, and fine lines have started forming around your mouth, you’re noticing the effects of aging lips, a common concern for patients at Infinity Wellness in Brunswick, Ohio. Lips lose structure gradually, which is why the change often feels sudden even though it happens over years.Because lip shape is so individual, treatment starts with a conversation about the proportions and definition you’re hoping to restore.
Aging lips rely on a well-defined border, a distinct Cupid’s bow, and adequate volume to look full and youthful. As collagen production declines, the lip border softens, the vertical height of the lips can shrink, and fine lines may develop around the mouth from years of repeated movement like smiling, drinking, or pursing.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Pathology, collagen production declines steadily with age, and the lips are often one of the first areas where this decline becomes visible.
Here, the main change is reduced fullness throughout the lip, often most noticeable in the center of the upper or lower lip.
Some patients retain reasonable volume but lose the crisp border and Cupid’s bow that once defined their lip shape.
Fine vertical lines around the mouth, sometimes called lipstick lines, can develop from repeated pursing motions and reduced skin elasticity.
As the tissue between the nose and upper lip loses elasticity, the upper lip can appear to stretch and lengthen, changing the overall proportions of the mouth.
Your provider will discuss your desired shape and volume before treatment to make sure your results look proportional to the rest of your face.
